About Sachtler aktiv18T

Revolutionise the way you work with an aktiv™ flowtech® system.

Combining the fluid head built for speed with the world’s fastest tripod, this system delivers ultra-rapid deployment with maximum versatility. With the power to support payloads up to 18 kg (39.7 lbs) the lightweight aktiv18T offers 15 steps of counterbalance, allowing you to finely match your camera rig and quickly dial in balance time after time.

7 steps of Sachtler drag ensure smooth movement at all speeds and in any environment, while the Touch & Go platform allows one-handed mounting of the camera into a preset position, so you’re always ready to capture the next shot. All aktiv™ fluid heads feature revolutionary SpeedLevel™ technology. Release, level, and lock your head tightly into the perfect position without missing a second of action. Clear confirmation that the camera is level comes from the illuminated PrismBubble visible from any height or angle – day or night.

Sactler aktiv18T System Flowtech100 GS

The 2-stage carbon fibre flowtech® tripod has unique quick release brakes at the top which can be deployed and adjusted in an instant, and a versatile hinge lock mechanism that allows it to be deployed without a spreader for ultra-low and high shots. Its ergonomic design makes the tripod comfortable to carry, on your shoulder or with the carry handle, and the legs are held together by a magnetic lock for transportation. In this system an adjustable mid-level spreader and rubber feet are included, and a padded carrying bag completes the package.

Go lower than ever. aktiv and flowtech combine to provide a flexible one tripod solution delivering the widest height range. With no bowl clamp required, aktiv16T allows the flowtech100 tripod to go flat to the ground for the perfect low-angle shot.

Both aktiv and flowtech are precision engineered with quality materials to surpass Sachtler's stringent performance targets. Tested in the most punishing environments, this is a premium system engineered to be ready for anything.

Capture the widest range of shots in the shortest time with aktiv and flowtech.
